90s Are All That

Hi, I was born in 1997, so I'm not a 90s kid, but I'm going to explain to you how I wish I were a 90s kid. They seemed so lucky.


As I type here at 2:31 in the morning, "Kenan & Kel" is playing on my television screen. 90s television (well at least on Nick) was phenomenal and I'm kinda disgraced to have the Nick channel we have today. They have barely ANY slime. I mean, come on, Nick. Why did you save all the good stuff for the 90s? Ugh. 20 years ago isn't that far back... Can you bring it back and play nothing but 90s television and 90s commercials? Pretty please?

Whatever. They're not going to respond to my pity plea. No one does when it comes to television, because honestly, the only time I watch TV is after midnight on TeenNick. (Yes, that's the time they play 90s Nick.)



Now, I'm going to give you my favorite three 90s TV shows ever:



  • "All That!" No, I'm not talking about the early 2000s "All That!" I'm talking 1996 and so. Why was Amanda Bynes so cute? Why was Lori Beth Denberg so good at Vital Information? WHY WOULD THEY REPLACE HER? Bad choice, Nick. Bad, bad choice. I love the interracial television aspect they give, too. Kinda reminds me of 2pac, but it really doesn't. I just love my African-Americans. <3

  • "Rugrats" How much more mainstream 90s Nick can you get (other than "All That!")? I mean, every 6 year old loved sitting down to watch this show in the 90s. Heck, I'm 15 and I still enjoy laying down and watching it at night. I mean, I may be delirious or something, but... Yeah. I know. I'm cray cray. I still loved "Rugrats" though. <3 Tommy.


  • "Friends" And then BAM! The kid throws you a curve-ball. I'm sure you thought this would be 90s Nick because that's all I've talked about. Well, you were wrong. It's not. It's "Friends." We all knew Rachel and Ross were soul-mates, and we all cried when Rachel had her baby and Phoebe gave birth to three as part of surrogacy (These epis may've taken place in the 00s, but I still count them as 90s.) We all loved Phoebe's blunt honesty and Joey's arrogance.. But none of us loved the spin-off. None of us. Let's not speak of it...
Alright, now that we've browsed over some of the 90s TV shows, I'll get on to 90s music. I'll give you the best three songs of all-time from the 90s. (Well, in my mind.) Don't make fun of them if they're too mainstream, people!

#3: "Vogue" by Madonna We all loved Sue Sylvester's cover, but nothing beats the original which was released in 1990. "What're you lookin' at?!"

#2: "...Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears We all miss the adolescent Britney Spears, which was no longer a girl but not yet a woman. This was the pure symbol of innocence-meets-sexy-school-girl which was released in 1998.

And......

#1: "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain Yes, you're probably not surprised at all that this song ranks as #1 in my book, when it was released also in 1998. My brother told me if I ever wanted to get laid, just play this song. Not yet happened, though, but I do love the song. I can TOTALLY understand why it would get some girl's clothes off... but not really. I don't understand. It's still good though!!

Alright, that concludes my longest and awesomest blog post on the 90s. Please, please, if you'd like, you can...
